Western world
The Western world, also known as the West or Western civilisation, primarily refers to countries in Western Europe and countries where a majority of the population descend from Western Europeans. An exception is Latin America which represents a distinct culture despite Spain and Portugal being Western nations. The term has been in use in English since the Middle Ages and was originally used to mean Europe exclusively.
Western countries are consistently wealthier and more politically stable than non-Western nations.
Starting in the 1960s the West has experienced a series of demographic changes. The birth rate started to fall while global population was rising, immigration increased to compensate. At around the same time western civilisation rejected the social mores of the Victorian era. Starting around the same time misandry became normalised in the West.
Starting from the late 1960s, certain Western nations have become notable for having highly active immigration programs. In doing so these nations are defying global trends and continue to have a growing population.
